64 = 65 ?

[Backslash]

That's pretty weird. A maths teacher I had a few years ago showed the class how to make 2 equal 1 once?

Yea i had that aswell, its flawed tho cos you have to divide by 0 or something which u cant do

In theory though, 1/0 = infinity, well, technically, 1/0 approaches infinity.  Just think of it this way, 1/1 = 1, 1/0.1 = 10, 1/0.01 = 100, so as the denominator approaches 0, the result approaches infinity.  The reason we can't divide by 0, is for this reason; it gives us an undefined value.  Infinity is an undefined value.  Therefore, you theoretically say that 1/0 = infinity.  However, the principles of mathematics won't let us say 0 x infinity equals 0, because the 0 multiplicative property only works for defined values.  Since infinity is undefined, the rule does not apply.

i typed in 64=65 in google and the answer was one of the first links.

Ok you did and I didn't. I'd have said so if I had done that.

But you thought everyone would do the same? And baselessly Accused me of cheating? What a petty consideration!
As shallow as the people who insist  Axl has done a face job etc for sure. Not nice or witty innit?

Basically I don't get why you'd bother googling to get an answer for a fun quiz. That would kill the fun.
I use my head instead.
The questioner, SLC punk had the answer ready and would give it to you anyways.

This is a stupidly simple problem, I'm embarrassed for anyone that cannot solve it. I quickly formulated the correct answer, as shown below:



Actually I googled it too, simple answer is that the shapes don't fit exactly together, ppbebe is right, the gradients don't match up and so a tiny descrpency of 1 square unit is left which is spread across the diagonal. Since this is a relatively large line it makes it very thin and hard to see.

Well as a student majoring in math and stats... that is exactlly the kind of shit i solve  such a dork! but for this 64=65 problem... all of the squares areint being cut in half and then not being put with another piece to make a full one and thats why you are getting one extra square (as it has already been pointed out by other people)

[Elrothiel]

Fuck math!! Fuck it right in the ear!!!

I HATE it! I've always hated it! I hated all my math teachers, and I somehow managed to scrape a C grade in GCSE math...

That one I'll NEVAH work out...

you seem to have taken this pretty close to the bone. And i can't really understand why. sure, if you want you can be offended but anything i said was meant in jest and even if it wasn't i can't understand how you could get so touchy about this.

if i was a 1970's comic i'd make a joke about it being that time of the month but that would only further infuriate all involved.

[ppbebe]

SkynyrdGirl, this one is not a ploblem in math. it's more like a matter of wits.

jest? how tipical!

It just doesn't justify your unjust smart-ass comment anymore. You should have said that you kidded in the second reply at the latest. not that cheating is an offence or something. but as I said I hadn't done that, and yet you didn't retract your frame-up. That was way off.

That's not my idea of fun.

[Elrothiel]

Yea I know PPBebe, but anything to do with numbers and shit like that pisses me off. And that thing that Laura posted just pissed me off further... fuckin' math symbols!! >.<

[Backslash]

Go on, b'y! Math rocks.

I used to be a wiz in high school... kinda slowed down on it in university.

[Elrothiel]

.... You boffin you!!

[Backslash]

.... You boffin you!!

Haha, I had to look that one up in the wikipedia... British slang! haha... apparently, I'm either a British scientist or a type of Hobbit...

[Elrothiel]

err... Wikipedia is wrong. A boffin is someone who studies all the time, and cares about nothing but studying...

Basically a nerd...

[Jim]

Count? Who needs to count!

Numbers? Who needs numbers!

I could have been good at the math, had I continued. But I dropped it at A-level about halfway through my first year.

Haha... oh!  I like to think I'm a nerd, but I don't study very much!  In my opinion, nerds don't need to study! haha   

[Elrothiel]

Ain't that the truth!

I'm a slacker, and I scraped through my exams. I'm smart, but I hate studying and revising and shit. I just scanned over some stuff the night before.

my my, i really seem to have hit a nerve. i'm still, like i said, at a loss as to why you're so pissed. however as i dont understand why i can't begin to start caring that you are.

I bet you just googled "righteous indignation" into google and copy/pasted the first thing that came up anyway....

Most complicated maths formulas are not complicated at all, face it, all the symbols are is numbers, n if you know what theyare its a piece o piss most o th time

[Elrothiel]

OK, Mister Genius! Explain that math problem in plain English for us dumbasses who can't stand the fucking subject!

Well, not that one, thats a bit ott

Yes and no! Although in most cases a definite value can be obtained, funky symbols instead of numbers are used as the variables can be undefined or change, for example with time. So it can be relatively easy to work out an answer at any one point, but it is another thing to keep the solution in general equation form and do any necessary transformations on it. Maths is literally a type of language, a bizarre cruel language that makes little sense to me!

Count? Who needs to count!

Once I get over ten I have to take off my shoes............
